The pirate adventure centers on the tales of Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) and his men and takes place twenty years prior to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Treasure Island. Flint, the most brilliant and most feared pirate captain of his day, takes on a fast-talking young addition to his crew who goes by the name John Silver (Luke Arnold)....

After the grand battle in last week’s Vikings episode, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that Showrunner Michael Hirst takes it down a notch for this week’s A Simple Story. Although I’m just as anxious as any of you to see how this Civil War between the sons of Ragnar will develop I guess we should spend some time in Wessex and Iceland because they will surely get pushed to the side next week....

Nash Entertainment is resurrecting the Masked Magician, the star of Nash’s five Breaking the Magician’s Code: Magic’s Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed specials, which scored big ratings for Fox in the late 1990s. The specials caused a fuss with professional magicians, who were upset that some of the industries best tricks and illusions were being dissected on primetime TV.

With just a few days before The Walking Dead returns with its Season 8 premiere, AMC has debuted a brand new clip, which teases the start of All Out War. The clip features a scene with Morgan (Lennie James) and Carol (Melissa McBride), wearing their Kingdom armor, meeting up with Tara (Alanna Masterson) and Daryl (Norman Reedus), talking about how the war has started, with Daryl adding that it was, “always gonna be that way,” likely meaning that it was only a matter of time before Rick stepped up and stood his ground against the nefarious Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan)....

After years of Dwayne Johnson hyping up Black Adam, the film finally arrived in theaters and was a disappointment. Despite being the number one movie at the box office for three weekends in a row the movie underperformed at the box office so much so that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson leaked false profit earnings to make the movie look like a bigger hit than it was. The movie was not a hit with critics, and it appears it might have been the final nail in the coffin for the DCU, as following the movie’s release, James Gunn and Peter Safran were brought in to run DC Studios....

The death of Queen Elizabeth II of England has spawned a media frenzy to commemorate her Majesty’s life as England’s longest and, perhaps, most beloved reigning monarch. Entertainment writers have been focusing on steering viewers toward the litany of movies and shows with her story, such as Helen Mirren’s The Queen and Claire Foy’s The Crown. An unlikely yet worthy choice, however, would be HBO’s The Princess, the arresting documentary which stitches together Princess Diana’s public life, from her engagement to the Prince of Wales (now soon to be crowned King Charles II) to her final, tragic moments which took her life in a paparazzi-fueled car crash in a Paris tunnel....

Gender-swapped reboots of our favorite movies burst out of Hollywood with a roar but left the box office with a whimper. Pre-pandemic America seemed to be on a roll to reboot all of our favorite ensemble classics with an all-female cast. And despite receiving generally positive reviews, movies like Ocean’s 8 and Ghostbusters (2016) divided audiences and left the public feeling more angry than delighted. It’s difficult to tell why a movie flops when viewers turn it into a political issue....

National Treasure: Book of Secrets is director Jon Turteltaub’s 2007 follow-up to National Treasure. Like the first film, it opens in the past, five days after the end of Civil War. We meet Ben Gates’ (Nicolas Cage) ancestor, Thomas, who burns a diary page belonging to John Wilkes Booth. In the present, the page is recovered, and Thomas’ name on it leads to him being seen as a conspirator in the Lincoln assassination....

Nunsploitation is a genre with a mostly forgotten history. The height of nunsploitation was from the late sixties to the early eighties in (mostly Catholic) European countries, alongside other, more celebrated exploitation genres like Giallo and spaghetti western, according to the online film journal Offscreen in an article about the subject. The article posits that the perception of nunsploitation as adult films, while somewhat valid, keeps the films from being fully appreciated and canonized like the works of Dario Argento and Sergio Leone, who are now considered masters of the craft....

Ever since the end of The Dark Knight, there has been much speculation that Aaron Eckhart’s villainous Two-Face is still alive, and that he will be making an appearance in The Dark Knight Rises.

Now, he does know the answer, and it is: No, Aaron Eckhart will not be back as Two-Face....

Christian Bale has dropped himself in almost every movie setting and role you can think of. He’s thrown on a plastic poncho and axe-murdered in American Psycho. He’s squeezed into the Batsuit and prowled Gotham City in The Dark Knight Trilogy. He’s trotted around in Boston boxing rings and jumped out windows in The Fighter. Now Bale will be investigating murder in gothic-themed 19th century New York and teaming up with Edgar Allan Poe....
